I changed banks a few years ago and anow I pay the same amount as at the old bank in charges but for more transactions, almost but not quite cut off my nose to spite my face LOL. <br />Have a lovely Christmas Nicholas.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103626093025254193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-9622553332265048652009-12-15T21:05:50.773-11:002009-12-15T21:05:50.773-11:00scum of the earth = bankersscum of the earth = bankersJohnChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534097009288819099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-22070368118117574862009-12-15T18:12:59.258-11:002009-12-15T18:12:59.258-11:00I watched the video - hateful pharicees!

I feel very strongly about horrible disparity of wealth - which is so evident in the city of Gates and Paul Allen - where schools lack simplest necessities - and homeless sleep in the streets.Svetlana Mamedovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381372361172059562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-27690597102442306922009-12-15T17:00:05.480-11:002009-12-15T17:00:05.480-11:00Please rave on and rant on, Nicholas!

You'll get three cheers from me!<br />I can identify with everything you have described and it is good to see that the study confirmed what we all suspected (or is it knew?) all along.Penthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226869141298079186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-50706887722225828892009-12-15T15:07:12.819-11:002009-12-15T15:07:12.819-11:00Banks don't seem to be robbed as much as they ...Banks don't seem to be robbed as much as they used to be.<br />I know if I saw a bank job in progress I would not testify in any way, it being tit-for-tat as they say.<br /><br />Bank buildings and chambers never used to change from one decade to the next - OK, <i>ever</i>, but since deregulation they change their carpet, their uniforms, and anything else they can change on a weekly and COSTLY basis, then slug the customer.<br />We all allow it to happen by our lack of action.Ann ODynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159263330547329077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-58426125023137419032009-12-15T10:50:51.499-11:002009-12-15T10:50:51.499-11:00Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Our banks like your here and the bankers get richer even when peoples homes are been foreclosed and families are turned out into the street just so the bankers can live the wealth they are accustomed to.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969764234193384841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-76143232930443816432009-12-15T05:25:39.061-11:002009-12-15T05:25:39.061-11:00Very well put.

Seems all the investment banks that caused the downfall of the world economy are now rushing to pay back their TARP funds loaned to them by the US tax payers.<br /><br />And why? So they can give obscene bonuses to their CEO's and execs this Christmas.<br /><br />And where did they get this money when they were at the brink of bankruptcy a mere year ago. Maybe it was hidden. Or maybe it was because they have not been lending it to anyone that needs it. Or maybe they got it by raising all our fees.<br /><br />I'm betting they had it hidden same place Bush hid 20 million embarrassing e-mails.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.com
